    This ain’t no "Twisted Metal: Black." If Motor Mayhem had come out last October we might have recommended it; as it is, there's no real competition.

    It sits squarely in the middle of fun and boring.

    A solid, competent extreme bike game, without a lot of frills, and with little style, but hey – when did style and grace ever figure into extreme sports?
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Of the four versions of this game out there, this is probably the least fun due to the choppy frame rate and blurry graphics, not to mention the apparently missing fighters.

    Despite a fairly impressive game speed even with eight riders, Supercross is a headache-inducing eyesore.
    • 51 Metascore

    Gameday fans are owed an apology for this morass of bad controls and weak graphics.
    • 59 Metascore

    Good for the nostalgia crowd, and that's the target audience. It's a cheap package too, so it's probably worth it. But what's with the slowdown in such old games?

    If cars really behaved like those in VP, the carnage on our nation's highways would immediately result in a national speed limit of 15 to deter the sort of fish-tailing, wildly over-steering behavior exhibited in this game.

    The most glaring drawback of gameplay is that there's no effective radar/tracking system to point you towards your remaining enemies, especially when they're out of range.

    Slowly becoming the Utah Jazz of console sports franchises -- produces enough so that you can't ignore it, but possesses neither the flash nor the innovation to beat the younger competition in the ratings game.

    If you’re expecting the latest in 3D graphics and CD-quality sound, you’re going to be disappointed. Besides the extra cinematic scenes made especially for this release, this plays, looks and sounds just like a 16-bit SNES game.

    Have you seen the movie Driven? Neither have we. But this game, which I based on the movie, gives us so many clues as to what the movie was like that we don?t feel like we have to watch the movie to know what it's about.

    Long on ideas but well short on design and execution -- a game that for the most part looks as good as originally promised, but with some shoddy controls that almost ruin the experience.

    If you can look past graphics that came out of the Stone Age, if you can look past terrible sound effects (when guards get shot they grunt like… uh never mind), if you can look past a main character that doesn't look anything like Tom Cruise, if you can look past some ridiculous puzzles in places, you'll find Mission: Impossible, if you choose to accept it, really isn't that bad.

    Uneven pacing, clunky interface and mismatched visuals undermine the game's potential.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not the most innovative game, and actually copies a block or two from other puzzle games, but the repetition gets endearing after awhile.

    Oni
    Its anime influences also feel forced and plagiaristic. Overall, this is one of the bigger disappointments this year.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The odd nature of the story and world is a change of pace (now there's an understatement) from the rest of the pack, and this one is probably worth checking out.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's good for those that want all their classics in one cart - but the Game Boy Color versions are exactlt the same.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Doesn't add anything to the venerable Twisted Metal series - it just subtracts, and subtracts, and subtracts, until the only thing small is the fun.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Just too easy, too short, and too busy visually. It’s initially quite an impressive looking and sounding game, but you know the saying about looks being deceiving.
    • 68 Metascore

    If you think of it as "Road Rash" up close and personal (and want to see a game like that), then go ahead and break these balls.
    • 58 Metascore

    This is Jedi Power Battles in 3D - a simple, fast-paced action game that makes you forget everything else for a couple of hours, just like the movie it's based on.
    • 54 Metascore

    The better money is with "Q-Ball Billiards Master," which is far and away better than this.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent kart racer that never makes full use of its license and falls a bit flat in gameplay.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game is fun to watch (and that's mostly what you'll be doing) for a couple of hours, but beyond that the repetitive pre-scripted cut-scenes and ease of play will leave you bored.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's more like a reworking of "Prince of Persia."
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A great effort, but when compared to games like Turok or Golden Eye, it falls short. With glaring problems in the multiplayer modes, it's hard to see Duke Nukem 64 being taken seriously as a contender in the 3D shooter category.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It’s a repackaged version of the original. A few new levels aren’t enough to give this game a proper fun factor score – if you’ve played before, you’ll be disappointed.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    You never really escape the feeling that you've played all of this before - twice, in fact... As for people who just like to drive around and cause mayhem, we've got one word for you - "Driver."
